New Discovery Show "Sons of Guns"
- Thread starter scooter
- Start date
a show about a custom gunsmith in Louisiana....
http://corporate.discovery.com/discovery-news/discovery-channels-all-new-series-sons-of-guns-wil/
"If you can dream it, we can build it" is the motto at Red Jacket, the nation's most unique weapons business. Owner Will Hayden and his eclectic crew of Baton Rouge, Louisiana gunsmiths and historians rise to the challenge daily on Discovery Channel's world premiere series SONS OF GUNS, creating one-of-a-kind custom weapons. The show fires off on Mondays at 10PM ET/PT, starting January 24.
As a straight shooter and an avid historian, Will is a trusted expert to handle the requests of Red Jacket's major clients - law enforcement, military and collectors. From guns to knives to swords to cannons, Will sells, trades, buys, builds and customizes them all. While weapons manufacturers are making attachable silencers for AK-47's, Will takes it a step further -- creating internal silencers that help police departments be even more stealth in threatening situations. If someone needs to restore a WWII flamethrower to make it operational, Will can do that too. And when the sheriff's department needs to turn two guns - a shotgun and a rifle - into one, they call Will.
SONS OF GUNS centers on Will's Red Jacket shop, located in the heart of the Louisiana bayou. When Will isn't rebuilding a "bring-back" rifle from the Vietnam War or using his wealth of weapon history knowledge to determine if a pistol found in the attic is an antique or not, he can be found in his shop with his daughter Stephanie and the rest of his team, swapping gossip with his customers. Whether it's having a lunch break shooting contest, going on a nighttime bayou bow fishing trip or field testing a fully automatic M2 .50 caliber machine gun, viewers will catch the Red Jacket team always finding time to have some fun on SONS OF GUNS.
SONS OF GUNS is produced for Discovery Channel by Jupiter Entertainment. Stephen Land and Patrick Leigh-Bell are executive producers. For Discovery Channel, Dolores Gavin is executive producer.

Will and crew are great folks to deal with.
When he was building one for me a couple years ago he called me around noon on a Sunday to ask me a few questions on the build.
Hopefully this will portray firearms in a good light. My understanding is they built him a new facility to work out of as well. Will and Stef deserve all the success they might reap from this project. Good to see nice people come out on top. Just glad I got my conversions done prior to this show. First episodes are supposed to be all about Saigas and AK based firearms.
